I finally got that sorted and got it to work, so thanks for the replies and the help. Sadly, when I ran a complete keyring refresh, it screwed up the key-ring altogether (error messages discussed in here before - can't remember precise details from last night, but it concerned something being shorter then the buffer length) and I had to re-install it from an old backup. Just for the moment, I think I'd better stop meddling with things I don't understand, and just use the system when it's working OK. Having said that, I'm off to find out how to change my passphrase from the old back-up keyring to my current passphrase - so I'll probably make a complete hash of that too (pun intended :-) ) Regards, Bob
